It's coming up to Easter, and we all know what that means. Chocolate! With so many options for yummy treats being offered, the kids Easter eggs sitting in your pantry staring at you in the face, and the never ending social events, how on earth can you be expected to not gain weight, let alone lose it!
The fast track to overindulgence is turning up to a party hungry. The best way to avoid overeating while at a social function is to make sure that you have eaten a healthy and filling meal before you arrive. The last thing you need is to be fighting the chemical processes in your body that are signalling your brain to eat, and to eat sugar and fat.
Cravings and temptation are so much easier to resist when you are feeling full and satisfied. You may find that you are quite happy to sip on a soda water or a cup of tea while you chat with friends or co-workers, and happily pass up the calorie laden party food options with this strategy.
Make sure that if you do have any Easter treats in your home, that they aren't in your line of vision. Keep them either on your lowest or highest shelf or in a hidden compartment in the fridge. You won't notice them every time you go for a glass of water, and won't have to exhibit monumental control multiple times a day.
If you yourself have been given gifts in the form of Easter treats, you could be super generous and offer these to neighbours, friends, grandkids. You get to feel good about giving someone special something they will enjoy, while at the same time you won't fall into the habit of frequent treats.
If you find that you really struggle with overcoming cravings, you could benefit from attending one of our weight loss retreats which include mindset workshops where you learn about your triggers and eating behaviours. You can learn to develop a healthier mindset on your 1-12 week stay with us!

Moscardo, Gianna, and Pearce, Philip (2006) Internet use, site visits and destination images: implications for sustainable tourism on the Great Barrier Reef. In: Proceedings of the Travel and Tourism Research Association 37th Annual Conference. pp. 4-14. From: New Frontiers in Global Tourism: Trends and Competitive Challenges, 18-20 June 2006, Dublin, Ireland.
Destination images can be seen as a link between understanding tourists as consumers and supporting the development of sustainable tourism. The study reported in this paper examined the role of the internet and on-site visits in creating destination images of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The study was based on a telephone survey of more 1100 Australian residents that explored attitudes towards, and knowledge of the environmental status and management of the GBR. Four groups of respondents were identified based on whether or not they had visited the GBR in the previous 12 months and whether or not they used the internet as a source of information about the GBR. These four groups were compared and contrasted on a series of variables exploring their images of the Great Barrier Reef and its management as a major tourist destination. The results were used to demonstrate the value of understanding destination images in general and how managers of destinations might use this image information.

On Monday night, Portland Trail Blazers' imposing big man Jusuf Nurkic suffered a season-ending injury. The Bosnian experienced a nasty fall that resulted in compound fractures in his left tibia and fibula, putting an end to his most impressive season yet. The whole league shuddered and later many players sent their condolences to the 24-year-old, including Celtics legend Isaiah Thomas.
The injury itself is one of the more stomach-churning breaks that the league has seen which was made worse by the referee inexplicably kicking Nurkic's foot as he laid on the ground. On top of that, the medical staff took a shocking amount of time to come to his aid. I won't share the footage, for the sake of the more squeamish of our readers, but it's almost unbelievable.
For many basketball fans, it brought back memories of Gordon Hayward's leg break in his Boston debut against Cleveland Cavaliers.
That Jusuf Nurkic injury is Gordon Hayward level terrible. Prayers up for him but he may never be the same after than one.
I guess the @NBA now have some solid reasons to reduce the games.
Nurkic has played a huge part in Portland's season and has seemingly found a home in the city. The team currently sit in the fourth seed of a loaded Western Conference. The loss of their center will be a huge blow for them as they look toward the post season.
If the experience of Boston fans since Hayward's injury can buoy Portland in any way, it's by pointing out that while not showing any sign of real consistency, Hayward has had flashes of brilliance at times this year. Recovery from this kind of traumatic fall can be a long road, but both Hayward and Nurkic may return to their best – just ask Paul George.
All of us at Celtics Life wish Jusuf a speedy and full recovery.

Unsustainable groundwater use for global food production and related international trade
Carole Dalin, Makoto Taniguchi, Timothy R. Green
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 July 2019, e12
Most of the water humans consume is for agriculture. Rapidly increasing water demand has led to overexploitation of water resources in many important food-producing regions. In particular, growing groundwater-based irrigation causes potentially damaging depletion. Food systems are increasingly globalized, leading to large export-oriented production. Much research has focused on quantifying the amount of water resources embedded in traded products, but less attention has been given to the role of groundwater use and the related sustainability of agriculture globally. We assess current knowledge of virtual water trade in light of groundwater use and sustainability and highlight remaining challenges in this field.

The importance of consilience among different disciplines to solve global environmental issues has long been discussed among researchers and decision makers. As global environmental problems become more complex in the real world, society calls for transdisciplinary approaches that analyse and solve environmental problems. The watershed is a geographical boundary of ecosystem that supports social and economic activities at the regional scale. The problems associated with watersheds are considered to have multi-faceted aspects. The integrated project-type research creates a new arena for transdisciplinary research. It is possible to integrate research through concepts, methodology, and a common geographical area of study.
The research organisation of three transdisciplinary watershed projects is compared, specifically, the Impact of Climate Changes on Agricultural Production System in the Arid Areas (ICCAP) Project, The Lake Biwa-Yodo River Watershed Project, and Urban Subsurface Environment Project. In the three projects, the research organisations evolved to pursue mission and transdisciplinary goals. Various tools for integration were observed, which included the comparison of spatial and temporal changes, generation of indicators, development of coupled models, and communication among researchers. More importantly, a tool to integrate scientific knowledge and transdisciplinary communication with the stakeholders of the watershed was used to disseminate scientific information for resource management.
The importance of consilience among different disciplines to solve global environmental issues has long been discussed among researchers and decision makers. Society calls for transdisciplinary approaches to analyse and solve these worsening global environmental problems.
The watershed is a geographical boundary of ecosystem that supports social and economic activities at the regional scale. The problems associated with watersheds are considered to have multi-faceted aspects. These include the spatial and temporal aspects of material flow and balance, the present and future climate conditions, resource use, hierarchical structure of social and cultural organisations, and ownership. Thus, the sustainability of watershed requires a "synthesis of knowledge from different specialised fields of human endeavor" (Wilson 1998).
This chapter tries to review some transdisciplinary research projects that have been implemented for watershed management.
In situ monitoring of cracking behaviors of plasma-sprayed coatings by the laser acoustic emission technique
Koichi Taniguchi, Manabu Enoki, Makoto Watanabe, Seiji Kuroda, Kaita Ito
Journal: Journal of Materials Research / Volume 24 / Issue 10 / October 2009
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011, pp. 3182-3189
Multichannel acoustic emission (AE) measurements by four laser interferometers were developed and applied during a plasma-spray coating process that is known as being a high-temperature process and an extremely noisy environment in both mechanical and electrical domains. The AE signals could be successfully detected during the cooling period after the deposition, and it was clearly indicated that a higher preheating temperature resulted in the improvement of bonding between splats and/or at the interface of the coating and the substrate. The maximum principal stress generated during the deposition process was calculated by the transient heat and stress analysis and the obtained AE events. The critical stress for crack initiation of the alumina coating on a steel substrate with an NiCr bond coat layer was estimated as 30∼45 MPa. The developed techniques were shown to be a potential tool for in situ monitoring of the thermal spray process, by which an increase in the reliability of thermal spray coatings can be expected.


It is developed the technology of clay spread out with application of reagent RR, which one does not demand use of the liquid acids and has the high efficiency with the minimal expenses.

Ethos Pathos In Julius Caesar
What would he do if his close friend was just murdered by a group of people he knew? In the play Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, Caesar (the title character) was killed by a group of conspirators. Caesar's closest friend, Marc Antony, was enraged by his death and wanted revenge on the conspirators who killed him. However, Antony couldn't kill the conspirators so he turned a crowd of confused mourners into a chaotic mob with a well spoken speech. In the speech he used ethos, patho, and logos. These persuasive techniques were used to swade the crowds thoughts and action toward the conspirators. Antony used one of the techniques ethos, which was a technique that is ethical and moral. This was to make himself, Brutus, and the conspirators known to the crowd. "For Brutus is an honorable man; So are they are, all honorable men"(3.2. Line 85-86). Antony keeps calling Brutus and the conspirators honorable men but towards the end of his speech, he turns the word honourable into a insult. Antony does this to show the crowd who they really are and not to trust them. He is also telling the crowd that what the conspirators did, was not an honorable…show more content…
This technique was called logos and it appealed to logic. "The evil that men do lives after them… So let it be with Caesar"(3.2. Line 78-80).Antony is saying that yes, Caesar did do some bad things that everyone remembers. But don't forget about all of the good thing he did too. "I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?" (3.2. Line 99-100). Antony is stating facts right now, he reminds the crowd of how they loved Caesar so much, that they were willing to just him the crown. He also reminds them that Caesar refused the crown and asks if that is ambition because it is not. Logos justs adds to all of the other techniques he used to win over the crowd and make then into a the mob that Antony
Julius Caesar Speech Analysis
Brutus tells the citizens that he has killed Caesar because he didn't love his country and he had evil intentions for Rome. Then, he asks the citizens if they are so vile not to love their own country. Brutus has a more persuasive motive as he shows why he has killed
Brutus And Cassius Analysis
Before Brutus dies he yells out to Cassius, "I kill'd thee with half so good of a will!" Meaning that Brutus is okay with dying because he knows that he had a good life and people will still respect him even after his death. Cassius is ambitious because when Cassius tells Brutus "we petty men walk under his huge legs and peep about to find ourselves dishonorable." He is saying that because he wants to be like Caesar was and he is still jealous of him even though he is dead. He knows the people still respect Caesar even though he is still dead so he tries to spill out all of Caesar's bad things he did while he was alive. Unfortunately he doesn't get anywhere and the people end up hating him and not liking him even
Literary Analysis: Summary Of Oedipus Rex By Sophocles
After this Creon goes to Oedipus and tells him about the murder and the punishment that the awful man shall receive for the murder. Oedipus passionately tries to find the killer of the previous king not knowing that the old man he killed a long time a go was actually King Laius; however, he doesn't know that in fact he is the true killer of king Laius and not only that also that Laius is actually his real dad. On the other hand he tries to search for the killer so intensely that it proves that he is doesn't know that he himself is the killer of the king. There is a part in the story when the citizens and the priest actually pray to the god because Oedipus has come to save their city from suffering; Oedipus has so much
Caesar And Butus And Marc Antony And Julius Caesar
"Men at some point are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are all underlings." Was Caesar 's fate to be murdered, and Brutus' to be praised for his crimes ? Brutus murdered Caesar and offended on one. Since when the victim is the bad guy and the murderer is the good guy. In JULIUS CAESAR, Marc Antony and Brutus each gave a speech after the assassination of Caesar which was lead by Cassius and Brutus. The speeches were given in front of the people of Rome.
Julius Caesar Rhetorical Analysis
Specifically, Antony said, "I rather choose to wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you, than I will wrong such honourable men" (III.ii.124-6). Because of previous Brutus' speech that was done right before Antony's, Brutus was known as an honorable person to the Roman citizens, so showing a opposition to him could hurt one's credibility a lot. Instead, he praises Brutus' honorableness to gain trust by stating that he would rather defile a dead than to wrong Brutus. Also, he indicated, "He was my friend, faithful and just to me: but Brutus says he was ambitious; and Brutus is an honourable man" (III.ii.84-6). By making a connection between himself and Caesar and showing his respect to Brutus, he is showing that he is also a person in a high enough place to speak in front of the crowd.
Compare And Contrast Brutus And Mark Antony's Speech
Both Brutus and Mark Antony have two entirely different purposes and agendas in each of their speeches to the Roman citizens. Brutus ' aim is to convince the throng of restless Romans that Rome has been saved thanks to the gallant conspirators for slaying the avaricious, power-hungry, Caesar. However, Antony, a loyal friend of Caesar 's, wants to show Brutus and the conspirators for what they really are: nothing but savage murderers who killed Caesar out of spite and jealousy and not for the good of Rome. By doing this, Antony hopes the fickle mob will turn into a bunch of irate demagogues that will settle for nothing less than the revenge and deaths of the conspirators. Brutus ' speech is a useless and ineffective from start to finish.
Betrayal In Julius Ceesar In William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
Betrayal. I never experienced such disrespect until now. The people of Rome should feel the same about what they did to Julius Caesar; they should be disgusted and mad at Brutus, and the people who helped him. Caesar would have been a great king by now if they didn't revolt against him, blame Brutus! I as a follower of Caesar, maddened because of the followers of Brutus.
Brutus As A Tragic Hero Essay
Even when faced with the consequences of his actions, his friends dead in front of him, he chooses to rather kill himself than admit that he and his friends were wrong to assassinate Caesar. His dying words were, "Farewell Strato. Caesar now be still. I killed not thee with half so good a will." Brutus clearly felt unbearable remorse for Caesar's death, despite it being entirely his own fault.
Julius Caesar Character Analysis
The group wrote him letters saying that he deserved to be the king of Rome. This boosted his ego and made him want to join the conspirators. Brutus was there just to justify the reasons for the stabbing of Caesar when it was all said and done and when the people of Rome needed an explanation. He convinced the people into thinking this was for a good cause just because he was considered a good person to the people around him. Brutus was Caesar's best friend and made him feel secure in his decisions of acting dangerous by going out when all the signs said not to.
Comparison Between Seneca And Richard III
In relation to Shakespeare's Richard III, it is clear that Richard is the anti hero. However, similarly to Oedipus, he shows redeeming qualities, which make us question if he is truly evil. It is evident that his choices and vaulting ambition makes him the tyrant. For example, when he has the members of the senate that support the princes killed, he does this to weaken and later dispose of them. In relation to Thyestes, Atreus is an early figure that represents tyranny because of his wit and expression in speech.

Angry Inuk is a 2016 Canadian Inuit-themed feature-length documentary film written and directed by Alethea Arnaquq-Baril that defends the Inuit seal hunt, as the hunt is a vital means for Inuit to sustain themselves. Subjects in Angry Inuk include Arnaquq-Baril herself as well as Aaju Peter, an Inuit seal hunt advocate, lawyer and seal fur clothing designer who depends on the sealskins for her livelihood. Partially shot in the filmmaker's home community of Iqaluit, as well as Kimmirut and Pangnirtung, where seal hunting is essential for survival, the film follows Peter and other Inuit to Europe in an effort to have the EU Ban on Seal Products overturned. The film also criticizes NGOs such as Greenpeace and the International Fund for Animal Welfare for ignoring the needs of vulnerable northern communities who depend on hunt for their livelihoods by drawing a false distinction between subsistence-driven Inuit hunters and profit-driven commercial hunters.

Development
Angry Inuk was co-produced by Arnaquq-Baril and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) in association with EyeSteelFilm.

Release and reception
Angry Inuk premiered May 2, 2016 at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, where the film received the Vimeo On Demand Audience Award along with the Canadian Documentary Promotion Award. In October 2016, the film received the Alanis Obomsawin Best Documentary Award at the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival in Toronto. The following month, it received both the Women Inmates' Prize and the Magnus Isacsson Award at the Montreal International Documentary Festival. On December 7, 2016, Angry Inuk was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual Canada's Top 10 list, and took home the People's Choice Award at the TIFF Canada's Top Ten Festival.

While Arnaquq-Baril has stated that the anti-sealing movement has forced Inuit to turn to the mining and the natural gas industry to support themselves, with dire consequences for the Arctic environment, supporters of the EU ban on seal products have countered that such a ban does not block Inuit from seal hunting to sustain themselves and supply market demand. However, the film argues that even with the exemption for Inuit, the ban drives down demand and prices so greatly that hunters can no longer financially support themselves or their communities.

A new Pinot Noir promotional group launched its first ever event in London a couple of weeks ago, with the aim of understanding the world's top Pinot-producing regions' approaches to the grape.
The revolutionary-sounding 'Pinot Noir Alliance' brought together five leading Pinot Noir producers from around the world to demonstrate 'how the diverse influences of soil, climate, vine age and, crucially, human interaction create a unique style for key pinot-producing regions'. The producers, introduced by event host Tim Atkin MW, were Chile's Cono Sur, the Yarra Valley's Oakridge, New Zealand's Villa Maria, Sonoma estate La Crema and Burgundy's Domaines Albert Bichot.
The discussion was as intriguing as the grape itself, in view of the comparison it allowed between the various regions' different approaches to Pinot Noir, terroir, to what extent the site determines the wine and to what extent it's the winemaker's hand.
It's fair to say there's an over-reliance on terroir, and nowhere more so than in France's Pinot-producing heartland of Burgundy. It seems suspect that the French definition of terroir should tack 'winemaking' on to the already comprehensive list of things word should denote – the 'total natural environment of any viticultural site', as Jancis Robinson MW's Oxford Companion to Wine has it.
A large part of wine commentary exists in the ocean of ambiguity partly created by that awkward appendage. This is a problem, because while such commentary highlights the 'fundamental' elements of terroir – soil, aspect, drainage, etc, the winemaker's influence is rarely acknowledged.
Richard Bampfield MW, representing Domaine Albert Bichot, said predictably that Burgundy is where 'terroir talks' more than anywhere else in the world. To emphasise the effect of soil beyond all other terroir components, he presented two premier cru wines from Bichot.
New Zealand saw its UK on trade sales of Pinot Noir grow by 16%, or 154,000 bottles.
There difference between these two wines from one producer was clear, but it's more important to state the obvious yet less-discussed point: that, at the same time, two winemakers in the same context may make wines that are completely different from one another.
Importantly, it's this latter scenario that the average wine consumer is confronted with. Yet, almost invariably, the winemaker's influence gets subsumed in the pseudo-mysticism of terroir.
The emergence of high-quality Pinot Noir from the New World is especially welcome in this context, because it does not carry such misleading baggage. New world Pinot has made massive strides in the past 20-30 years, thanks to a result of better site selection, better clonal material and, crucially, better winemaking in New World winemaking regions.
In Chile, an excellent example of this is Cono Sur's working model for Pinot, which has been the New World formula: choose the site, choose the vine material, then make wine – the point being that from vineyard to cellar, it's human decisions that determine the final product.
A similar story of the importance of winemaking decisions was apparent from Gordon Russell, winemaker at Villa Maria-owned Esk Valley. Villa Maria started making Pinot Noir in the 2000 vintage and was looking for ripeness and boldness, but winemaking decisions led to ever greater levels of refinement.
'Looking back now it's almost embarrassing to think we were picking grapes as late as we did and using maceration techniques that we did,' he said.
Dave Bicknell of Oakridge's final thought clearly showed the contrast between Old World and New World approaches to Pinot Noir.
The important point, despite differing approaches, is that what makes these wines what they are is the hand of the winemaker, for whom Pinot Noir is not a 'ghost' grape, as Aubert de Villaine once described it, but one to be artfully manipulated. There's no magic hand of God determining Burgundy's divine supremacy here.

Amy and Adam wanted a very relaxed day with all of their family and friends for their wedding at Kingswood Golf Club. It was a beautiful sunny day and it was really lovely to work with such a lovely couple. I'm very excited to share the highlights of their wedding day. This wedding was also featured on the venue's main blog here.


I had a bad case of OA in my right knee about 7 or 8 yrs ago (on crutches for awhile and pain and stiffness for several years). I used a mixture of 5 natural supplements and my knee is no longer an impediment to running or playing racquetball. The product I use is called omniflex and it contains fish oil, krill oil, rosehips, collagen II and pine bark extract.

Q: If $N_i \cap N_1N_2\ldots N_{i-1}N_{i-2}\ldots N_k=\left$, with each $N_j \unlhd G$, $N_i\cap (N_1N_2\ldots N_{i-1})=\left.$ Let $N_1, N_2,\ldots N_k$ be normal subgroups of a group $G$ with $G = N_1N_2 \ldots N_k$. Assume for any $1 \leq i \leq k$, $N_i \cap (N_1N_2 \ldots N_{i-1}N_{i+1} \ldots N_{k}) = \langle e \rangle$. Define $N'_i = N_1N_2 \ldots N_i$. Is it true that $N_i \cap N'_{i-1} = \langle e \rangle$ for all $1 \leq i \leq k$? I want to show this as part of a larger proof to show $G$ is the direct product of the $N_i$s. I have already concluded that each $N'_i$ is normal, and know how to use induction to show my result if I have $N_i \cap N'_{i-1} = \langle e \rangle$.
I noticed that if there is an $a \neq e$ with $a \in N_i \cap N'_{i-1}$, $a \in N'_i$ but don't know how to proceed, or even if that is the correct direction.
I might also be overcomplicating things. It's possible I could show $G$ is the direct product of the $N_i$s if I show each element of $G$ has a unique representation in $N'_k$.

A: Take $N_i$ with $1 < i \leq k$. Let $a \in N_i \cap N'_{i-1}$. Note $a = a * e * e * \ldots e$. We can see $a * e * e * \ldots e \in N'_{i-1} N_{i+1} \ldots N_k$. Then, $a \in N_i \cap (N_1N_2 \ldots N_{i-1}N_{i+1} \ldots N_{k}) = \langle e \rangle$, so $a = e$ and $N_i \cap N'_i = \langle e \rangle$.

Aberdeen FC / Latest Dons News
Three wins, second place and one determined Dons striker can add up to semi-final to Roo-member
by Sean Wallace
Adam Rooney in action for Aberdeen.
Aberdeen striker Adam Rooney aims to book a Scottish Cup final berth on the back of vaulting back up to second spot in the Premiership table.
And the Reds' leading goal-scorer for the last four seasons is determined to deliver the goals to achieve that.
The home clash against St Johnstone today is the first of a hectic Premiership treble with Motherwell away on Tuesday and Hearts away the following Saturday to complete the pre-split card.
Should the Reds emerge with maximum points from all three they will be second top of the table going into the Scottish Cup semi-final – regardless of what rivals Rangers do in that period.
That is because the Dons hold a crucial game in hand, against Motherwell, that will be played early next week.
Less than two weeks later the Reds go head-to-head with the Steelmen at Hampden on April 14 in a battle to reach the Scottish Cup final.
Rooney aims to pitch up at the national stadium having racked up momentum and reclaimed second spot.
He said: "We have three huge league games against St Johnstone, Motherwell and Hearts before the Scottish Cup semi-final.
"Our aim by the end of those games is to be back in second place in the league and then hopefully heading back to Hampden for another Scottish Cup final in May.
"That is the short-term aim.
"However, we can't look too far ahead as we know St Johnstone have a bit of form recently and they are always a difficult side to try to break down."
Breaking down opponents has been a problem for the Reds recently with just two goals scored from open play in the last six games – both by skipper Graeme Shinnie.
On 11 goals for the season, Rooney last scored in the 4-2 Scottish Cup win over Dundee United on February 11.
The 29-year-old said: "After January when we came back I was in good goalscoring form.
"Then I have been in and out a bit and we have not created that much chances.
"Personally I thrive in the box and balls being in there.
"With the way the games have gone we have not really had many chances in that particular style.
"That is frustrating as there have not been that many chances in the box.
"You just have to keep going and I am always confident I will score goals. There are plenty of games to go between now and the end of the season and hopefully I can pop up with a few more winners."
The Reds attacker reckons the poor state of many pitches has been culpable for the lack of recent goals.
Aberdeen recently splashed out a six-figure sum on three lighting rigs in an attempt to repair the damaged Pittodrie pitch.
The Reds do not expect a visible upturn for today's game but are confident the surface will be improved for the post-split home games.
Rooney said: "I don't think the pitches have helped really due to the style of play we have. A lot of the lads like to get on the ball and go by people, to pass and move.
"In the last few games we have not really had the opportunity to do that.
"It has been difficult to pass and especially to run with the ball. The wider and trickier players in the team who like to carry the ball have found it difficult to run with it due to some of the pitches.
"We just have to adapt to that because everyone is in the same boat.
"We just have to find different ways of winning games and we have always come up with that."
Due to the international break the Reds not on duty with their countries had the rare luxury of a few days off.
Rooney made the most of it by returning to his home city of Dublin.
"We had a few lads in the international set-up so they didn't get much of a break, " he said.
"The rest of us just took the time to get our bodies ready for the last push at the end of the season.
"I went back to Dublin and saw the family for a few days and did some training there.
"It is good to get a few days off as players in England get five, six or even seven weeks off in the summer.
"However, in the last few years we have only had about three weeks off after what has been a long season.
"So we use this time to switch off, relax. But the lads are all given things to do when we are away to make sure everyone comes back firing on all cylinders."
Part of the rest and recreation back in his home city of Dublin was watching Scotland's friendlies against Hungary and Costa Rica.
Dons centre-back Scott McKenna started both games, with club-mates Kenny McLean and Ryan Christie introduced as second-half substitutes in Budapest.
Rooney said: "I watched the Scotland games which shows how sad my week off was.
"I sat and watched the games because I knew Scott was starting and I wanted to see how he did.
"He was excellent and you would never have guessed that was his first step into international football.
"Scott has got a lot of plaudits from those performances and rightly so.
"But I know what he is like, he won't let that affect him.
"He will just keep working hard to ensure he improves his game even more. I am sure they will be the first caps of many more to come."
Adam Rooney

Q: How to pass data from activity to fragment I have some problems passing data from an activity to fragments in it. I searched around but didn't find an answer which suit my situation well.
I have 2 fragment class named CurrentFragment.java and HistoryFragment.java. I initialize them as tabs in an Activity.
    Tab tab = actionBar.newTab()
            .setText(R.string.tab_current)
            .setTabListener(new TaskitTabListener<CurrentFragment>(
                    this, "current", CurrentFragment.class));
    actionBar.addTab(tab);

    tab = actionBar.newTab()
            .setText(R.string.tab_history)
            .setTabListener(new TaskitTabListener<HistoryFragment>(
                    this, "history", HistoryFragment.class));
    actionBar.addTab(tab);

I was told to use setArguments in the Activity and getArguments in the fragments. But in this situation how do I get fragment objects in the Activity? I can't use getFragmentManager().findFragmentById() since the fragments are added programmatically.
Also, I find some posts saying that I may use getActivity() in fragments to access data in the Activity container, but for me it keep returning null. Does anyone has a working example of that?

A: [EDIT] I've updated my answer to better respond to your question.
You can also retrieve fragments by tag with getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("tag"). Be careful though, if the tab has not been viewed yet the fragment will not exist.
CurrentFragment curFrag = (CurrentFragment)
    getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("current");
if(curFrag == null) {
    // The user hasn't viewed this tab yet
} else {
    // Here's your data is a custom function you wrote to receive data as a fragment
    curFrag.heresYourData(data)
}

If you want the fragment to pull the data from the activity have your activity implement an Interface defined by the fragment. In the onAttach(Activity activity) lifecycle function for fragments you get access to the activity that created the fragment so you can cast that activity as the Interface you defined and make function calls. To do that put the interface in your fragment like this (You can also make the interface its own file if you want to share the same interface among many fragments):
public interface DataPullingInterface {
    public String getData();
}

Then implement the the interface in your activity like this:
public class MyActivity extends Activity implements DataPullingInterface {
    // Your activity code here
    public String getData() {
        return "This is my data"
    }
}

Finally in your onAttach(Activity activity) method in CurrentFragment cast the activity you receive as the interface you created so you can call those functions.
private DataPullingInterface mHostInterface;
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
    super.onAttach(activity);
    if(D) Log.d(TAG, "onAttach");
    try {
        mHostInterface = (DataPullingInterface) activity;
    } catch(ClassCastException e) {
        throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString() + " must implement DataPullingInterface");
    }
    String myData = mHostInterface.getData();
}

We help energy companies across the globe realize the value of their data through AI and blockchain.
Got Problems? Solve with VIA.
VIA was founded to solve asset management and operational issues alongside key players in the energy industry. Since then, we have worked with some of the largest utilities in the world on AI initiatives like predictive maintenance and contingency planning.
AI can be easy if you have data. Unfortunately, that's a big if…
We found enormous interest in AI in the energy industry, but every company was dealing with the same hurdle: the data. Some companies had too little data, some companies didn't have clean data, some companies have a lot of data but not in any single location.
So, we developed our Trusted Analytics Chain™ (TAC™)
Trusted Analytics Chain™ (TAC™)
We've developed a blockchain-based application, called Trusted Analytics Chain™ (TAC™). TAC™ (patents pending) is the bridge that securely connects power company data, distributed across many locations, to potential AI solutions and provides:
TAC™ delivers the algorithm to the data, so that data always remains secure and on premise.
Data Pooling
TAC™ virtually aggregates company-wide data across any location and allows multiple energy companies to pool their data (anonymously) for more rigorous analysis.
Smart Contract Functionality
TAC™ uses smart contracts to automate the exchange of algorithms and analysis results.

On 6 July 2018
In Armenia, Art, Austria, England, France, Germany, Greece, Macedonian, Romania, Russia, World War I
I recently attended an exhibition at Tate Britain called Aftermath, exploring the impact of World War One on British, German and French art. I have long been fascinated by this period for two reasons.
Knights: Marriage at Cana
Firstly I have long enjoyed the British artists of that period (and up to and including World War II). These include artists, who were in this exhibition, such as Edward Burra, Winifred Knights (whose The Marriage at Cana I was able to see both in Auckland (where it normally lives) and at the Dulwich Picture Gallery), John Nash, his brother Paul Nash, C R W Nevinson, William Roberts and Stanley Spencer. Many of these artists have had something of a rediscovery in the UK in recent years, with exhibitions devoted to them.
The exhibition did, of course, include some interesting French artists, such as Picasso, André Derain, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger and André Masson and German artists such as Max Ernst, Otto Dix and Georg Grosz.
My grandmother who died in the Spanish flu epidemic, with my uncles
My other interest in this period is because World War I changed so much. There were the obvious changes such as the fact that 10 million died and 20 million were injured, large parts of France and Belgium were destroyed, the economies of many European countries were destroyed, it led directly to the Great Depression and the rise of Fascism, various revolutions/civil wars happened (Russia, Ireland, Malta, Hungary, Germany, Egypt, Finland and others) and various countries died/significantly changed their frontiers and/or came into being after the war. Less obvious but still fairly well-known were the Spanish flu epidemic immediately after the war, which took millions of lives, the fact that after the War, the US surpassed Britain and Germany in economic and political power and the fact that after the War, Britain (and other countries, too) moved from being primarily a rural country to being primarily an urban country. In the UK, we have recently celebrated one hundred years of votes for women though, as many pointed out, it was at the same time that all adult men also received the vote. There is no question that the role of women changed after the war, not least because women had to work at men when the men were away fighting and dying.
Many novels and poems were written (and are still being written) about World War I, probably as many if not more than those set in World War II and the American Civil War. I have a long but far from complete list on my main site. Obviously many of those concern the actual conflict as well as life at home. Many of the World War I novels are critical of the conduct of the war. We can read about the terrors of the war, the inefficiency, incompetence and, at times, venality of the powers that be and of the officer class. Some novels show gentlemen declining to be officers and enlisting as other ranks.
The Tate divided its exhibition into eight categories. These are:
Remembrance: Battlefield and Ruins
Remembrance: War Memorials and Society
Traces of War: Wounded Soldiers
Traces of War: Dada and Surrealism
The Print Portfolio (prints, primarily in France and Germany, widely distributed)
Return to Order
Imagining Post-War Society: Post-War People
Imagining Post-War Society: The New City
While this division is not necessarily terribly helpful in looking at the novel, it does have some relevance. The war-wounded, example, certainly appear in various novels as do ruined battlefields and the idea of a return to order. However, I shall focus on a few novels that are on my website that do look at some of the after-effects of the war. There are, of course, many other novels dealing with this topic that are not on my website. Also, some of these novels will also deal with the war itself before moving on to the after-war period.
It could be argued that many of the great novels of the post-WWI period would not have existed without World War I. Would we have had, for example, Kafka, Joyce, Woolf,Faulkner and many other fine novelists without World War I. The answer is, of course, maybe but they may have been different and we may well have had others who would have revered even more. I shall not, therefore, be looking at those writers and others as regards their writing style and experimentation (Surrealism, Dadaism, etc. probably influenced the novel but were not, on the whole as key as they were in art.)
I shall start with my favourite post-war novel and that is Ford Madox Ford's Parade's End tetralogy. Much of the series – and probably the better part – is set during the war but it is also is very much concerned with what we call world-weariness though other languages have better terms. While researching this issue, this clearly came up as a general issue. Some of it, of course, was post-traumatic stress disorder (then called shell-shock) but a lot of it was a general malaise that affected a lot of people, combatants and others, and Ford deals with it.
One other great English post-World War I novel and one far less known is Henry Williamson's The Chronicle of Ancient Sunlight series. This covers a long period – from the late 1890s to the 1950s. It covers World War I, of course and also the aftermath. The Williamson character and hero of the book, Phillip Maddison, does what Williamson actually did (and what D H Lawrence and others did) – retreat from the world, an aspect of world-weariness. Maddison also remarks on the disappearance of the rural around London.
Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway is not the only novel to have a shell-shocked soldier in it but Septimus Smith is memorable, not least because he appears in a first-class novel, but also because he is so well portrayed by Woolf, as he retreats into his own world from which he will never return. Sadly, there were many men like him.
Two key themes for US writers were The Lost Generation and the Depression. The obvious Lost Generation work is Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises (UK: Fiesta) with its epigraph You are all a lost generation. Jake Barnes, the hero/narrator, has been wounded and left impotent and joins the list of literary characters, wounded physically and mentally during the war. William Faulkner's Soldier's Pay is not an obvious Lost Generation novel, not least because it is set in the US and not Paris but it does show the effect of the war on those who do not go to Paris.
Many of the French novels of the period are concerned entirely with the grimness of the war, which is not surprising as much of the war was fought in France. Louis-Ferdinand Céline's Voyage au bout de la nuit (Journey to the End of the Night) may be the most miserable book about the post-war period. Ferdinand Bardamu is a deserter and spends much of the book wandering around in a state of misery and encountering the miseries of other people. If you have any doubts as to whether people really were miserable after the war, this book should cure you.
Like other combatants, Germans tended to write about the horrors of the war. The most famous German writer (at least in the English-speaking world) on the war was Erich Maria Remarque. I have not read any of his work. His best-known work – Im Westen nichts Neues (All Quiet on the Western Front) is set during the war. However, he did write a sequel: Der Weg zurück (The Road Back), about the period after the war. His Drei Kameraden (Three Comrades) was about a later period and was made into an excellent US film.
Of the relevant German books I have read, I would mention Ludwig Renn's Nachkrieg (After War). His previous book was set during the war while this one deals with the period after the war, with the German Revolution and Kapp Putsch.
Oskar Maria Graf's Anton Sittinger (which has not been translated into English) also deals with the post-war period.
Austria was also a combatant. Hermann Broch's Die Schlafwandler (The Sleepwalkers) was mainly about the war but it ends with the period immediately afterwards, with Austria descending into chaos. Alexander Lernet-Holenia's Die Standarte (The Standard; The Glory is Departed) deals with the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the exile of the Kaiser.
The war was not just about the Western front. Events took place elsewhere and World War I influenced them. I mentioned various revolutions and civil wars. The best-known book in English about the Russian Revolution is, of course, Доктор Живаго (Doctor Zhivago). If you have not read the book, you may well have seen one of he films. Nabokov hated it. It does show the horrors of the Revolution which, of course, came about because of the war.
There are quite a few books about the Easter Rising and the Troubles afterwards. The Irish Times has a list. Liam O'Flaherty's Insurrection is an obvious Easter Rising novel and Elizabeth Bowen's The Last September an obvious one about The Troubles. However, I hope my Irish friends and relatives will not find it amiss if I mention an English writer, J G Farrell's Troubles, which mocks the English (though is not too flattering towards the Irish), as their Empire crumbles beneath them and, in this case, above them.
I would mention the German post-war revolution in passing. Alfred Döblin wrote November 1918: A German Revolution, a tetralogy of novels about this revolution, which I have not read. Ludwig Renn's Nachkrieg (After War), mentioned above, also deals with this period.
There were other places involved. I would mention Macedonia, not an obvious one. Petre M. Andreevski's Пиреј (Pirey) is about the aftermath of the war in Macedonia with the hated Bulgarians being replaced by the hated Serbs.
Only the first volume of Cezar Petrescu's Întunecare (Gathering Clouds) has been translated into English and that deals with the war. However, the second and third volumes deal with the post-war period in Romania. They have been translated into French and German and I hope to get round to them sometime.
Louis de Bernières's Birds Without Wings deals with the situation following the fall of the Ottoman Empire as does Dido Sotiriou's Ματωμενα Χωματα (Farewell, Anatolia). 's Նահանջը առանց երգի (Retreat without Song) deals with it from the perspective of the Armenians, the Armenian genocide and their exile to Paris.
I would mention two excellent more modern novels that deal with the aftermath of the war. Sebastian Faulks's Birdsong does take place, in part, during the war but also some of it is set in modern times (i.e. late 1970s) and is about the modern memory of the war. This has been quite common recently with the hundredth anniversary but was less so when Faulks wrote his book. There have been several other novels doing this as well.
Robert Edric's Desolate Heaven is less well-known but deals with a group of people shortly after the war who are suffering in various ways. It is a first-class novel which should be better-known.
There are many, many other worthwhile novels on this topic but I hope this will give you a flavour to supplement the Tate exhibition. The exhibition continues till 28 September 2018, so do try and see it if you are in London.
Venice and the Armenians
On 18 April 2017
In Armenia, Venice
I shall not describe writers associated with Venice, as I did with Trieste. Suffice it to say that many, many writers have been inspired by Venice. Goldoni, Marco Polo and Casanova were born here, Shakespeare was influenced by it and, more recently, a whole slew of writers, from Henry James to Hemingway, from Goethe to Thomas Mann, from John Ruskin to Mary McCarthy, have been inspired by it. My list of books set in Venice shows that a lot of writers wrote about it.
I only managed one bookshop visit as, for obvious reasons, there are not many bookshops in the tourist areas. The front window displaying new books in the Toleta bookshop shows an alarming lack of Italian works, with only books by Sveva Casati Modignani, Lorenzo Marone, Luigi Malerba and Primo Levi. The latter two are dead, the first is a husband and wife team – he is now dead and she is seventy-nine. Only Marone is (relatively) young at forty-two. Do I need to tell you that he has been translated into French and German but not English? Inside, things were not much better for relatively recent authors. Ferrante was, of course, on display, as was the new novel by Silvia Avallone, author of Swimming to Elba (described by Amazon as The provocative international bestseller about two young girls growing up fast in a failing industrial town on the coast of Italy, and which was called Acciaio (which means Steel) in Italian. Maybe the Italian novel is in the post-Ferrante doldrums.
Part of the library. These books are mainly in Latin and Greek
No matter because, as the title says, I want to talk about Armenia here. San Lazzaro is an island South-East of Venice. It had been a leper colony. In 1701, an Armenian monk, Mekhitar founded a religious community in Constantinople. His community was driven out by the Ottomans and went to Morea in Greece, then a Venetian colony. There he met various Venetians, including Alvise Mocenigo, later to be Doge of Venice. They helped Mekhitar and his community set up on San Lazzaro and the community is still there, albeit much reduced. It should be noted that the community is a Catholic and not Orthodox community. You can visit it once a day (tour start at 3.25 p.m.).
The community is interesting from the literary point of view for two reasons. One regular literary visitor to Venice I did not mention above was Lord Byron. Byron also visited San Lazzaro and, as a man who supported the cause of the underdog, he soon became interested in the situation of the Armenians. He stayed at the monastery, started learning Armenian and helped one of the monks compile an Armenian-English dictionary and an Armenian grammar.
The first book printed in Armenian
As the major location of the Armenian diaspora in Western Europe, the monastery attracted a lot of support from exiled Armenians. This involved both gifts in money and gifts in kind. The gifts in kind were quite varied and included a variety of artefacts and books/manuscripts, some of which were related to Armenia and some of which were not. As a result, the monastery is now a museum. It also holds one of the finest collections of Armenian manuscripts and books outside Armenia. The book just above to the right, for example, is the first book printed in Armenian. It was not printed in Armenia but in Venice, in 1512. Most of the early manuscripts held by the monastery are religious texts but this is not. It is called Ուրբաթագիրք (Urbatagirk), which translates as The Friday Book (not to be confused with the John Barth book of the same name). Friday is traditionally an unlucky day for Armenians, particularly for travellers. This book offers spells, incantations, advice and so on to help Armenian travellers on Fridays. If your Armenian is up to it, you can read the entire book. Sadly, it has not been translated into English or, as far as I can see, any other language.
Boghos Ispenian
The library was helped by the generosity of the Cairo-based Armenian antiques dealer Boghos Ispenian, whose picture you can see at the left (his picture is over one door and Byron's over another). The books and manuscripts are in a variety of languages and not just Armenian, including, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Persian (a copy of the Shahnameh) and even Ge'ez, the ancient Ethiopian language. While you cannot view most of the manuscripts, there are a few on display, such as the The Friday Book mentioned above. There are also many strange objects on display, including a very well-preserved Egyptian mummy. Well worth a visit if you are in Venice.


This blog post is about the all new Tata Hexa, a yet to be launched 'Lifestyle Vehicle' from Tata Motors that I recently got to test drive as part of the #HexaExperience IndiCampaign.
60 IndiBloggers were hand-picked for the Tata Hexa launch drive in Hyderabad on October 22 and 23 this year, and as luck would have it, yours truly made the cut this time around as well*! So honored to be a part of such an incredible group of bloggers.
To say that everything was planned to a tee would be such an understatement. From itinerary to drive briefing, I knew exactly what would happen next. We were made to stay put in an upscale airport hotel called the Novotel Hyderabad Airport, which is 2.6 km away from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.
The Hexa product presentation kicked off with a warm welcome note from Ashish Sahni, who heads the Digital Marketing for Passenger Vehicle Business Unit at Tata Motors.
Hi @rahulprabhakar! @Vivekvivi & I welcome to the @TataMotors #HexaExperience. Hope you have a great time!
The mic was then handed over to Vivek B Srivatsa, who heads the marketing for the same unit at Tata Motors.
Vivek talked about how the #TataHexa was specially crafted for the evolving Indian customer and his tacit needs. He showcased the most compelling talking points about the vehicle, which is touted as power packed, feature loaded and adrenaline pumped, with a signature IMPACT design.
In fact, not many in the audience knew that this 'concept' car from Tata Motors was first showcased at the Geneva Motor Show 2015. A few months later, the production version was launched at the Delhi Expo 2016.
Vivek revealed that #TataHexa will soon be available in showrooms across the country.
Tata Motors, along with its technology partners across the globe, have designed this vehicle for those with an active and dynamic lifestyle. The emphasis this time is on design and drivability plus a host of connectivity and performance related features to enhance functionality.
Later in the evening, we were introduced to Richard Winsor, who is the Chief Designer Exteriors at Tata Motors.
#TataHexa is the second vehicle from Tata Motors to sport the IMPACT design language after Tiago (earlier Zica).
The new car makes a truly aspirational statement by adorning bold and impactful exteriors and premium sporty interiors with superb finishes. Soft touch materials further accentuate the plush feel of the cabin.
One of the highlights is the best-in-class19-inch diamond cut finish alloy wheels nested in the muscular wheel arch cladding. The low aspect ratio tires complement the Hexa's premium look and off-roading capabilities.
Chic new projector headlamps with smoked effect beautifully blend with the assertive front fascia, with striking Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) seamlessly integrated with stylized fog lamps.
Tata Hexa has an inviting, all black sporty interior, with superior finishes, textures, and grains.
Sculpted seats with contrast stitching and accentuated bolsters with Benecke-Kaliko leather feel upholstery add to the finesse.
Hexa comes with a choice of eight colors for in-cabin ambient mood lighting, with illumination control and customization.
Comprehensive safety suite makes Tata Hexa a car to watch out for this year. It has 6 airbags (dual front, side and curtain airbags), electronic stability program (ESP) with roll-over mitigation for driving stability and traction, ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to optimize braking distance and ensure vehicle stability, Traction Control System to prevent excessive wheel slip, and Hill Hold Control (HHC) and Hill Descent Control (HDC) to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards on uphill drives and control descent on inclined surfaces, respectively.
Pratap Bose, who heads the design at Tata Motors, spoke at length about the meticulous design journey of the Tata Hexa.
Currently, Pratap leads a team of 200+ design staff across three Global Design Studios in India, UK, and Italy.
The advanced next-gen 2.2L VARICOR 400 diesel engine delivers class leading 400 Nm torque and 156 PS power to make the new Tata Hexa responsive vehicle for a spirited drive experience.
Tata Hexa is available in two gearbox configurations - a new 6-speed automatic gearbox and a 6-speed manual transmission.
The Hexa manual transmission variant boasts first-in-segment 'Super Drive Modes' allowing you to seamlessly switch between four different driving modes - Auto, Comfort, Dynamic, and Rough Road - for enhanced ride comfort and stability over different terrains. These modes can be activated through the ergonomically placed rotary knob on the center console. This feature is a perfect combination of vehicle engine performance, new-gen Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Torque on Demand (ToD), Instrument Cluster display, and vehicle's ambient lighting.
The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system is electronically controlled via an adaptive system by Borg Warner, with Torque on Demand (ToD) feature.
The Automatic version with a new-gen 6-speed automatic transmission has selectable modes: Economy, Sports and Auto-sensing, along with Race Car performance and Manual Shift option.
Tata Hexa is equipped with new-gen CONNECTNEXT Infotainment system, with ergonomically placed 5" touch screen, exclusively designed by Harman, featuring voice recognition and smartphone integration.
With a JBL branded speaker system to die for, Tata Hexa is taking the entertainment quotient to a new high altogether. The vehicle has 4 door speakers, 4 tweeters, a center speaker, a sub-woofer, and a power amplifier. Utilizing Harman's unique technology, the system ensures high fidelity audio reproduction and harmonic richness, for a theater like experience.
The CONNECTNEXT infotainment system also has intelligent features such as playback via FM/AM, USB, iPod, Aux, Bluetooth telephony and audio streaming, navigation, on-screen SMS display and readout, and rear camera display.
NaviMaps App: 3D Navigation app with offline maps through screen monitoring for smartphones.
Juke-Car App: First-in-segment app utilizes a mobile hotspot, to make a common playlist.
Tata Smart Remote App: Personalize media, radio, audio, and moon lighting settings directly from the smartphone.
Ravindra Jain, who heads the Product Marketing at Tata Motors, ended the Hexa product presentation by explaining a list of Do's and Dont's ahead of test drive the following day.
If Day 1 of the #HexaExperience IndiCampaign was all about immersing in the finer details of the vehicle, Day 2 was when we got to know the beast up close and personal.
I, along with two other IndiBloggers in my team, took turns to test drive the AT variant of the all new #TataHexa from Hotel Novotel Hyderabad Airport to Vikarabad, Telangana, which is roughly about 78.8 km journey one-way. On our return, we test drove the MT variant of the car.
The highlight of Day 2 was the off-roading experience, where the vehicle was tested in extreme road conditions.
Here's a short video of the #TataHexa off-roading experience.
Suffice to say, the new Tata Hexa makes for an engaging and exciting drive, taking the passenger vehicle experience to the next level.

In the April issue of EMBO Reports, Ebisawa et al. describe a screen for genetic polymorphisms associated with human circadian rhythm disorders (EMBO Reports 2001, 2:342-346). They performed a PCR-based analysis of the human period3 gene (hPer3), a homolog of a Drosophila clock gene, and identified 20 sequence variations, of which six predicted amino acid changes. Ebisawa et al. defined four haplotypes for the hPer3 gene. Screening a group of 48 patients with delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS), they discovered that the H4 haplotype was associated with DSPS in approx 15% of cases. The authors speculate that a structural polymorphism may affect hPer3 phosphorylation, causing DSPS susceptibility.


2018-6-2 · The slurry reactor has the advantages of simple construction, excellent heat transfer performance, online catalyst addition and withdrawal, and a reasonable interphase mass transfer rate with low energy input, which make it very suitable for gas-to-liquid processes.
The offered range of slurry feed tank reactors is made utilizing high grade raw material and innovative techniques in strict compliance with the international quality norms and standards.
slurry-foam reactor remain the same as those used for a slurry reactor, except that in the former case the total loading of component B and the instantaneous values of particle diameters have to be estimated by considering the conversions in both the sections, i.e.

Recently, the GBP/USD pair has been trading downwards. As I expected, the price tested the level of 1.2964. According to the M30 time – frame, I found the breakout of the support trendline in the background, which is a sign that sellers are in control. I also found a hidden bearish divergence on the MACD oscillator and rejection of the resistance trendline, which is another sign of weakness. My advice is to watch for selling opportunities. The downward target is set at the price of 1.2920.


FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Industrial equipment and technology company Siemens saw net profit fall 14 percent in the most recent quarter as higher taxes and lagging profits at its oil and gas business weighed on earnings.
On the positive side, the Munich-based company said Thursday it booked sharply higher orders, a key factor for earnings down the road. Those included 800 million euros ($930 million) for a train control system in Norway and 1.3 billion euros for an offshore wind farm in Britain.
Net profit fell to 1.21 billion euros ($1.40 billion) from 1.41 billion in the same quarter a year ago, the company's fiscal third.
The oil and gas business saw earnings fall by more than half to 164 million euros as global energy trends reduced demand for the division's offerings including for gas turbines to generate electricity.
Siemens AG makes a wide range of big-ticket machines and infrastructure goods, including trains and their control systems, factory automation and digitalization, medical imaging devices, and power generation and transmission equipment.
The earnings came a day after Siemens announced a wide-ranging restructuring of its businesses aimed at slimming headquarters functions and giving more responsibility to divisions.
The company says it will combine existing businesses into three operating companies: Gas and power, headquartered in Houston, Texas; smart infrastructure, based in Zug, Switzerland; and digital industries in Nuremberg, Germany.
The operating companies will exist alongside so-called strategic companies: the company's Healthineers medical technology division, Siemens Gamesa renewable energy, and its trains business, until it completes its combination with France's Alstom.
The company's shares traded down 4.9 percent at 113.98 euros.
